TO THE RAIN
You reach me out of the age of the air
clear
falling toward me
each one new
if any of you has a name
it is unknown
but waited for you here
that long
for you to fall through it knowing nothing
hem of the garment
do not wait
until I can love all that I am to know
for maybe that will never be
touch me this time
let me love what I cannot know
as the man born blind may love color
until all that he loves
fills him with color
-- W. S. Merwin
THAT'S FUCKING SUBLIME!

Mike replied:
No, I just want to use him for my Spiritual Sexual needs.
"Spiritual sexual needs."
Now there's a package of needs I've never considered. Do I have them too? Or
are they only available to Southerners? What do they consist of, Mike? Would
you elaborate?
Ah! Are you talking about intercourse with God?
